Description Jens 2022-01-07 11:05:41 UTC 
SUMMARY
Cannot move existing face rectangles in images. This is new, this bug was not in the last appimage I used (~November 2021).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open image with face rectangle
2. Click on the label to edit it
3. Move it to a different position

OBSERVED RESULT
Rectangle jumps back to old position after saving (ENTER)

EXPECTED RESULT
Rectangle should accept the new position. Strangely, *size* changes are accepted, just not *location* changes.


Using KDE Neon with all updates applied (20.04) and Digikam 7.5.0 git appimage as of 2022-01-04.

The possible changes are related to bug 447767. The changes are currently deactivated.
You should not use the developer version of digiKam in a productive environment at the beginning of a new release version. We're adding a lot of new things and making changes. It only stabilizes after a while.

Another cause for you can be that the facial metadata has already been written in the image, but the writing has now been deactivated. Then faces appear in the old position because they are read again from the metadata after a change.
